Moving stocks off slow, expensive, decades-old trading infrastructure and onto transparent, low-cost rails shouldn’t be controversial I understand companies wanting to know who their shareholders are. But tokenization allows that, automatically identifying all wallets who hold their stock The idea that somehow tokenized stocks will "confuse" investors or lead to less liquidity seem like red herrings to me
THE BLOCK: Nine companies, including CoreWeave, Broadcom, Verizon and UnitedHealth, have objected to tokenized versions of their shares trading on OKXICE, the OKX-ICE joint venture. Nasdaq also says it will opt out of having its own shares tokenized under the SEC framework.
